Some Agents don't realize just how important being well liked is, in this business. 

We all know of agents who are difficult to deal with and their career is adversely impacted by not having their listings shown as often... 

In this business we all need each other.  Being kind, professional, courteous and supporting each other goes a long way in this business.  I know that when there is so much inventory to show, and the Buyer's agent has to make a decision between my listing and another agent's, my listing WILL get shown.  Being well known as the "easy to work with" Agent scores major kudos within our Real Estate Community. 

Just follow my rules: 

1.  NEVER bad mouth another agent!  If you have nothing good to say about the other agent, just don't say anything.  

2.  Always return other agents' calls promptly. 

3.  Always go the extra mile for the other agent (offer to bring keys, commission checks, etc). 

4.  Always brag about the other agent to their clients (this one gets you major kudos, especially when effected in front of all involved). 

5.  No matter how low the offer, always thank the other agent for it, and let him/her know that you will do your best in presenting it to your sellers (better yet, ask the agent if he wants to present it to them himself). 

6.  A genuine compliment in a handwritten card after the closing is a lovely gesture.  A gift certificate to a nice dinner for two inside the card is even better. 

Remember:  Without the other Agents' support, you will starve!  LOVE YOUR FELLOW AGENTS, AND SHOW IT!  THEY CAN MAKE YOU, OR BREAK YOU...
